Mage Tower Meeting-3
Just after Ariasviel’s death before the return.
Reinhardt, as well as the empire, are engulfed in chaos.
As you can guess at the point where Reinhardt’s home was destroyed, 80% of the Imperial Knights were annihilated, corrupted, and disbanded.
According to Lumine, who was present at the scene, if Reinhardt had saved himself, he was certain that not only the empire would perish, but also the Eastern Continent would be destroyed.
And that will come as a reality in about 30 years or so.

Most of the royal family, including direct and collateral, are either exterminated or sided with the demons, and in the end, the empire completely loses its form as a nation.
However, the reason it was able to be established is,
[Euridika Pendragon, because that man had a hidden daughter.]
With the presence of that man’s illegitimate daughter, Eurydica, some ministers of the empire were barely able to be established.
[…He’s an illegitimate child… Is there a justification? I think the backlash will be severe.]
What Aria said was exactly what Leonardo said when he was in charge of rescuing and escorting the princess.
If there is a difference, it is only whether there is a nutmeg character or not, but at the time, Leonardo and Ariaspil’s opinions were not wrong.
[Even though it’s an illegitimate child, there were circumstances.]
The warlocks and demons tried to dry the seeds of the royal family, warriors, saints, and main figures of the Mage Tower. It was because they basically had a political position, and at the same time, they were always considered dangerous because they sometimes received abilities or visions due to their special lineage.
[That’s why he didn’t get married on purpose and hid his wife and children.]
And when safety was secured to plan the future, he asked Leonardo, who was working unofficially, to escort the princess.
[…Even a playboy has thoughts…]
Although she spoke softly, Arya did not hide her rotten gaze from the playboy prince.
It was physiologically unreasonable for a single woman, and even as the only warrior in the world, to look favorably on such a prostitute.
“Miss Ariaspil has become a beautiful lady while I haven’t seen her. I couldn’t even recognize it.”
Regulus exchanged a brief greeting with the orb, then looked at her aria, her face and the holy sword, and smiled with her eyes and mouth. To Regulus, Ariaspil was also a woman he needed to have a relationship with.
At Regulus’s greeting, Arya Spiel said nothing and tucked her hair in her ear with an aristocratic smile. Ordinary people would think that he was responding, but Leo and Rios, who had a close relationship with that hero, knew.
That was the characteristic hand gesture Arya makes when she pretends to know her and has no memory of her partner.
It was a gesture that was all the more memorable because it was a way of living and etiquette taught by Silica herself in order to barely be polite to an opponent she didn’t even care about.
“Then…”
So the prince took Arya Spiel’s hand and intended to kiss the back of her hand as he had done to Ameri.
But before that.
“My lady, your hands are shaking.”
Leonardo quickly grabbed Arya Spiel’s hand and wrapped it around him before Regulus grabbed his.
“My hands are very cold. I guess you should have prepared your own gloves.”
“…Ah… Is that so?”
Aria’s warm fingers intertwined with Leo’s hard hand, sharing their warmth. Seeing her holding hands, Regulus smiled at Aria and Leo.
“The air is definitely cold. It might snow during the festival.”
It was a fast and precise movement that seemed natural to the viewer like Regulus, but it was unnatural enough to know that Leo’s actions were probably intentional to Aria, who held her hand.
[…My knight is very jealous.]
Perhaps it was because she was an Aryan who had often been burned by jealousy, but it felt like a stimulating happiness for her knight to pour out feelings of jealousy for her own sake.
[You were trying to stop the kiss on the back of your hand, right? Why is that…]
[Uh, sorry. It’s my own way, but I tried to stop it.]
[…Uh…Huh?]
Arya, who was trying to tease me by revealing her jealousy, turned her face red.
Normally, she would give excuses like ‘because you look really cold’ or ‘to convey the aura properly’.
‘…Suddenly hooked up like this…’
[…I don’t want you to touch that man.]
[…That…That’s why… I don’t think that’s the intention…]
Leonardo wasn’t looking this way, he didn’t even make a special gesture. But perhaps because of the aura, Arya was reminded of Leo shaking her head in denial.
[Didn’t I tell you how many women the prince has flirted with? Besides, you’re more attractive than you thought.]
[…No this… That’s…]
Arya Spiel felt her whole body tremble at her pure sincere words. It’s hard to maintain her aura, and the corners of her mouth go up.
Leo, who had shown the side of a kind and caring knight until now, praised himself so openly, his hands did not get cold, and his whole body instantly became hot.
[Anyway, I’m a little careful. Because there are not just one or two men targeting you.]
[…Uh…Yeah… Thanks…]
She
She was shy with her body and answered carefully, but
‘…Why are you so cute…! Worrying about that…!’
The substance in
Was a girl who was in heat with such jealous attention.
Even the old woman’s heart mixed with jealousy was attractive to Arya.
Leo’s worries meant nothing to Arya in the first place.
Compared to Leo, other men seemed to be of the opposite s*x only to insects such as locusts and locusts.
No matter how much he was the prince of the empire, Ariaspil’s eternal prince was only Leonardo.
“Prince Regulus, if you are going to enjoy the festival, you might want to look for an inn outside.”
While Aria and Leonardo deepened their affection for each other, Orb, who had been sparing in the subtle air, opened his mouth and barely joined the conversation.
Perhaps he gained strength from Orb’s advice, Rios threw out advice that wasn’t advice to Regulus with his mouth twitching.
“Ah…! Unfortunately, not only the Magic Tower, but also the nearby inns are full. I guess I’ll have to find a lodging somewhere far away from the magic tower.”
As Rios said, during the festival, all kinds of extra dormitories in the Magic Tower, as well as various lodging companies, were packed so tightly that even reservations had to be made several months in advance during the peak season.
It was for that reason that I shared a room with Leonardo and Ariaspil.
However, that was only a superficial reason, and the fact that the truth hidden behind the veil was for the noble cause of protecting pure love was a secret that he didn’t want to know.
“Ah, if that’s the case, don’t worry. Actually, one of my acquaintances is a professor at the Mage Tower, but during the festival something happened to his family and he went down to his home.”
It’s unfortunate, but it worked out well for me, Regulus smiled.
“It seems that all the magic tower masters haven’t arrived yet. If it’s okay, could you join us for a little chat?”
Rios briefly signaled with a wink at his party. For him, spending time with Regulus was more laborious than eating a meal with an orc’s bad breath.
“Ah… I have an appointment, so now…”
Perhaps she noticed her close friend’s feelings, Ameri made an appropriate excuse and tried to get away from the prince.
Not only for Rios, but also for his own mental health.
The fact that the prince of the empire suddenly approached and asked to find ‘reinhardt’s old acquaintances’ was a burden to Ameri.
Because there is a difference between heaven and earth from social status, it was common for ordinary people to feel short of breath and suffocate.
Above all, the awkwardness of the relationship between Rios and the prince gradually inflated Ameri’s burden, and eventually, that feeling was on the verge of bursting.
“Is that so? That’s too bad. I thought you were the right person for the subject of this chat.”
Regulus shook his face as if in a play and deliberately expressed his regret.
And at the same time, he threw the most tempting bait to the magician as a hwadu.
“I wanted to hear a direct opinion about the hero’s colleague, the wise man, but it was really disappointing.”
“…Yes? If it’s about the wise man…”
Ameri reacted reflexively to the word sage, and tucked deep in the excuses for her promise.
It was the same for Rios, Aria, and Leo.
Although it was in a slightly different direction from Ameri, their interest in wise men was not a light topic either.
“About the legacy of the new sage discovered in the Empire, I wanted to express my opinion in advance.”
***
There were 4 people excluding Orb who participated in the conversation.
Ob himself refused to participate on the grounds that his knowledge of the sage was not extensive, and he had no experience in discovering the legacy of the sage, so it would not be helpful.
However, Ariasviel lacked knowledge about the sage, but he came along because he had the experience of meeting the sage even though it was top secret.
“Oh, did the legend of the Sage Research Club begin here?”
The place I came to was the old clubhouse of the Sage Research Department.
Cafés and restaurants were very conspicuous, but it was difficult to have a conversation on the spot because there were so many eyes to see and hear.
The only place I could choose was the poor office of the Sage Research Department.
Prince Regulus looked around the shabby infirmary to see if he was rather interested in the sage.
“Do you know where Type The Art is? If there is a chance, I would like to see it.”
In the meantime, Regulus looked at Rios’ wand and Ameri’s ring in turn, and the party understood the prince’s purpose without explaining it.
“Ain is taking a break. As you know, I was in a state of needing a break because I was quite overworked in the last situation.”
“…That’s a bit unfortunate. I heard that the gist of Type Diat is perfect enough to be said to have invaded the realm of a god.”
Perhaps he felt a little bit offended by such an inconsiderate way of expressing himself, but Ariasviel had wrinkles between his eyebrows, albeit slightly.
Does that prince even know how much damage it will hurt Ain to hear that he has invaded the realm of the gods?
“…Sorry to get to the point, but can you tell me straight-forward about the legacy of the new sage you discovered?”
Unlike usual, who was timid and weak, Ameri led the conversation and asked the prince direct questions.
If nothing else, her story of the Sage, the great man who started her admiration for her magic and led her to the abyss of her graduate school, was something she couldn’t let go of.
Unlike usual, her eyes were burning with strong vitality.
“Because it is straight-forward… I will try to explain the beginning as concisely as possible.”
Regulus smiled as he raised his hands clasped together.
“Still, I should explain light preliminary information, right?”
As if answering his own question himself, the second prince of the empire began his story as a wizard.
“The Empire has been trying to find candidates for the Sage. As a new hero appeared, it was to assume an additional situation and elect a wise candidate.”
Leonardo clicked his tongue inwardly at the word additional incident.
The sage established by the empire probably has a hidden purpose to obtain a means to keep the warriors in check.
His disprove was that he was electing a candidate for a wise man, not looking for a descendant or successor of an orthodox wise man.
“In the meantime, there was a strange record in the data of the old book.”
Even now, Regulus could not hide his doubts after seeing the form of the data and records at the time.
“It is a record that the wise man obtained a large amount of adamantium from a dwarf who was a blacksmith in the court for the protection of the world.”
Adamantium was a magic ore that was difficult to smelt with purity, as well as to obtain, whether modern or ancient.
While it conducts mana well, it is not even scratched by physical impact, so it was a material mainly used to make imitations of holy swords in ancient times.
“But it was strange.”
However, none of the sage’s legacy found in the mage tower has been found so far, where adamantium was used.
“…That’s why I was able to guess.”
Adamantium’s whereabouts.
“The legacy of the sages made of adamantium will still exist in the Mage Tower, hidden from everyone. How is it? The conversation just got a little more interesting!”
“…Ah…Yes…”
Listening to this conversation, Leonardo felt a little guilty. Rios and Arya couldn’t help but instinctively glance at Leo.
‘…The ingredients of Guardian Keter must be…’
I couldn’t even curse at the sage.
The sage used the adamantium he received from the country in a good place to create a guardian that protects the barrier of the demon world.
Fucking bitch prince
